Cuban Monument to Freedom

Featuring Xavier Cortada's painting on the actual Russian Antonov-2 Colt airplane that brought a family from Cuba to the United States. 

Surrounding the plane are 46 pieces of luggage numbered sequentially from 1959 to 2004, representing each year the Cuban community has been in exile.  Each piece will include letters from exiles describing what they left behind in Cuba and what they found when they arrived here.
